Automotive and Performance

i had a hornet security system installed in my car, baught and installed at circuit city... its been in almost a year now. last weekend my car sat for 2 days while i was visiting my gf. alarm was armed, no light were left on. battery was deadafter 2 days. i thought it was the cold so i took it to walmart, they tested everything and said it could be going bad or something is draining from the battery. my dad bought a new battery and all was fine. like i said i thought it was the cold weather giving it a hard time. so anyways last night i accidentally armed the alarm (not knowing if it was the draining the battery or if previous battery was just dying on its own) and my bat…

Thinking of upgrading my battery and adding a run of 4 gauge wire for a sub-system in my 2000 Avalon XLS and its been the most advanced car I've owned technology wise. Obviously to replace it I will have to disconnect the battery and my question is about what will this do to affect the car? Will it reset the odometer and car computer and so on? Thanks and let me know if you guys have had any success!

So, I'm about to order a lowering kit and found one, http://www.jegs.com/i/Ground+Force/476/9921/10002/-1# But, it's 2 door only, dumb question but, I've yet to find one for a 4 door. Would I be able to put it on my 4 door blazer even though it says 2 door? Speaking 2 door I'm guessing hass the exact suspension/frame etc as a 4 door?

Guy came on to out local G35 forums who owns a custom shop and wants to swap with stock to return the car at the end of his lease. I took a look and luckily i called him before anyone else got a chance to. We are making the trade tomorrow, check it out on his website: http://meofny.com/projects.php?meid=73

I need a new bumper my wife keeps backin into sh1t. So I figured why not get a bumper I can beat up. Don't want to pay a assload but maybe I could get some quotes

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/01/pariss-...icially-reveal/ "Lamborghini has spent the last few weeks tantalizing us with teasers of its front-engine, four-door concept, but that comes to an early end today as a French website has unceremoniously revealed the concept we've been calling the Estoque. Though the images in our gallery are low-res, we can still make everything out. The Estoque features a long hood and short rear deck, with horizontal headlights up front and a pair of big Reventon-style air intakes in the front bumper. The fender vents behind the front wheels are tucked into the car's character line that flows back until it hits those wide rear haunches. Thank…

Radio Controlled top fuel?

hey guys! got some quick questions about struts/strut towers/suspension in a 2000 Avalon XLS. I'll describe the problem first and then tell you what the toyota dealership quoted the problem and solution would be. I have a 2000 Avalon XLS, pretty good condition that I bought from my uncle. 105,000 miles on it and all the options. I've noticed some problems with the suspension though. Some things I've noticed are a "clunking" noise from the rear when I go over bumps, the car kind of "skips" across the road, especially when i am like...merging into traffic at higher speeds on the turn and when it hits a crack in the road while i'm turning, the car feels like it really jumps …

im messing more and more with limos.... and my new challenge is solenoid wiring... i have never been into solenoids but now it seems i must! ill take pics if you guys think you can help.

Hey guys, quick question, I was told by someone that when you get an alarm there are some small "horns" I guess that you can put in the inside of our car that make a hig pitch noise when your alarm goes off, and you can hide them. I gues they are like the size of a battery or something, I dont know. does anyone know anything about this or what they are called?

We filmed the entire process of installing a TRD supercharger on an 08 Tundra. From removing the bumper to the dyno results. We're still editing the video but posted a few clips on YouTube. Check it out.. YouTube - TRD Supercharger Install Preview - 2008 Tundra The truck..

I guess i'll try to get a couple of pics goin as well.. only thing i can think of though is taking the hoses off at the pump, but they are not comin off easy enough

im not sure where to post this, but it should work so im looking into buyin a new car (new to me) and i found an awesome deal on a 2002 Mercury Sable. i looked at the stock radio and it looks to have the climate controls embedded into the same panel. anybody have any experience with a sable?? do they make a mounting/install kit for an aftermarket head unit?

As ypu guys saw before I wrecked my car. I need to know the quarter panels (outer sheet metal, from door jam along wheel well to bumper) on a 96 Integra, is it welded on, bolted, what? I gotta replace one (maybe both) the these, the hood, the ft. bumper, and quite possibly the raditor, and maybe fan and belts too. Also ALL NEW TIRES Nankang can never be reached and as such i can't get them to pay shit on this. J

Well my younger sister was in a fender bender about a week ago and ive got the just of the rear end put back together but im hawing trouble finding a certain part, the clear tail light covers (pics below). Ive spent about 2 grand in parts so far and this is what she had befor and it was one of the things that she loved to death about this car.Ive been to all the local junk yards and online for 3 days now and im getting no ware fast.

I never really needed an alarm till now because I will be driving to school every day and leaving it in the parking lot so id like to get one. What would a good choice be? I dont want to spend that much money if I can avoid it.

Now if I could only bring back some of my German. One of my all time favorite cars, the 500E.

New coils with a small spacer up front on Bilstien 5100 shocks. Add a Leaf in the rear, again with 5100's. Added a new Tom Woods one piece drive shaft. Supposed to be 3 inches taller at the suspension, but it is taller than that all around. Overall ride is better than stock. Woot!

im looking for a nissan frontier high output alternator for a 2007, any ideas? before i email ohio, and such?
